Many licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have encoded code, that isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted use of such applications. Among the most popular encryption instruments used for this purpose is named Zend Guard and it's used widely due to the fact that it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the protected files to work the right way on a web server afterwards is if another instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. When you want to employ any kind of paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is installed on the server where you will host your website. Also, sites which need the tool generally perform better as their program code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it's executed more quickly.
